Love how Percy just casually drops lore all throughout the Son of Neptune. Frank and Hazel are getting the encyclopedia knowledge on every monster they encounter plus some extra side stories from how he fought them in gym classes and "oh yea, I had a fist fight with Kronos in Manhatten."
And then they meet Annabeth and realize that behind every goofy looking powerful guy, there's an incredibly smart, capable and even more powerful woman who makes sure he doesn't die on a daily basis and are like, "oh. thats why he's still alive."

Μάνα σε λάθος εποχή με γέννησες. Προσέχω, αγαπώ και σέβομαι μαμά. Αυτοί δεν είναι έτσι. Δεν δίνω υποσχέσεις που δεν τηρώ, προστατεύω ότι αγαπώ. Ο κόσμος δεν είναι έτσι μαμά. Συγνώμη μαμά. Δεν μπορώ να γίνω σαν αυτούς.

Κοιμάμαι δύσκολα.
Και έχω ανήσυχο ύπνο τελευταία.
Όλο γυρνάω πλευρό ,
μπας και βρω ένα να με βολεύει.
Μα όσες φορές και να γυρίσω ,
μάλλον θα πρέπει να δεχτώ,
πως κάθε πλευρό ,
που δεν έχει εσένα δίπλα του,
είναι άβολο.
- Omnis
